1Ko hono fakaʻosi ʻe hoku kāinga, ke mou fiefia ʻi he ʻEiki. Ko ʻeku tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa pe ko ia kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai siʻi ko ha fakafiu kiate au, pea ʻoku ʻaonga kiate kimoutolu.
1Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.
2Vakai telia ʻae fanga kulī, vakai telia ʻae kau ngāue kovi, vakai telia ʻae kau tuʻusi.
2Watch out for those dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh!
3He ko e kamu ʻakitautolu, ʻoku tauhi ki he ʻOtua ʻi he laumālie, mo fiefia ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke tau falala ki he kakano.
3For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—
4Ka teu faʻa maʻu nai ʻeau ha falalaʻanga ʻi he kakano. Kapau ʻoku mahalo ʻe ha taha ʻoku ai ha meʻa ʻi he kakano ʻe ʻaonga ʻene falala ki ai, ʻoku lahi kiate au:
4though I myself could have such confidence. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:
5Naʻe kamu au ʻi hono valu ʻoe ʻaho, mei he hako ʻo ʻIsileli, mei he faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani, ko e Hepelū ʻoe kau Hepelū; pea ʻi he meʻa ʻae fono ko e Fālesi;
5circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;
6Pea ʻi he fai feinga, ne u fakatanga ʻae siasi; pea ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻoku mei he fono, ne u taʻehala ai.
6as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to righteousness in the law, faultless.
7Ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe ʻaonga kiate au, naʻaku lau ia ko e meʻa ke siʻaki koeʻuhi ko Kalaisi.
7But whatever was gain to me I count as loss for the sake of Christ.
8ʻIo, ko e moʻoni, pea ʻoku ou lau ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ko e meʻa ke siʻaki koeʻuhi ko hono lelei lahi ʻaupito ʻoe ʻilo ʻo Kalaisi Sisu ko hoku ʻEiki: ʻaia kuo u kātaki ai hono liaki ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ou lau ia ko e kinohaʻa, kae kehe ke u maʻu ʻa Kalaisi,
8More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ
9Pea ke ʻilo au ʻiate ia, ʻo ʻikai ʻi heʻeku fakatonuhia ʻaʻaku, ʻaia ʻoku mei he fono ka ko ia ʻoku ʻi he tui kia Kalaisi, ko e fakatonuhia ʻaia ʻoku mei he ʻOtua ʻi he tui:
9and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.
10Koeʻuhi ke u ʻiloʻi ia, mo e mālohi ʻo ʻene toetuʻu, peau kau ʻi heʻene ngaahi mamahi, ʻi he fakatatau au ki heʻene pekia;
10I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to Him in His death,
11Kapau teu faʻa lavaʻi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻae toetuʻu mei he mate.
11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12Kae ʻikai hangē kuo u maʻu, pe teu haohaoa eni: ka ʻoku ou tuli atu, koeʻuhi ke u lavaʻi ʻaia kuo lavaʻi ai au foki ʻe Kalaisi Sisu.
12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
13ʻE kāinga, ʻoku ʻikai teu pehē kuo u lavaʻi: ka ko eni pe taha, ʻoku ou fakangaloʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ki mui, kau mafao atu ki he ngaahi meʻa ki muʻa,
13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
14ʻOku ou mafao atu ki he fakaʻilonga, ko e koloa ʻoe ui māʻolunga ʻae ʻOtua ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.
14I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.
15Ko ia ke loto pehē ʻakitautolu kuo haohaoa: pea kapau ʻoku ai ha meʻa ʻoku mou loto taʻetatau ai, ʻe fakahā foki eni ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.
15All of us who are mature should embrace this point of view. And if you think differently about some issue, God will reveal this to you as well.
16Ka ko ia kuo tau lavaʻi, ke tau ʻaʻeva ʻi he meʻa fua pe ko ia, ke tau tokanga ki he meʻa ko ia.
16Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained.
17E kāinga, ke mou kaunga faʻifaʻitaki kiate au, pea vakai kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻo taau mo ʻemau faʻifaʻitakiʻanga kiate kimoutolu.
17Join one another in following my example, brothers, and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you.
18(He ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻae tokolahi, ʻakinautolu kuo liunga lahi ʻeku lea ai kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoku ou toe lea ai eni mo tangi, ko e kau fili ʻakinautolu ki he ʻakau ʻo Kalaisi:
18For as I have often told you before, and now say again even with tears: Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
19Ko honau ngataʻanga ko e ʻauha, ʻoku nau ʻotua ʻaki honau kete, ʻo vikiviki ʻi he meʻa fakamā, ʻonau moʻua ki he meʻa fakamama.)
19Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things.
20He ʻoku ʻi he langi hotau kolo; ʻaia ʻoku tau ʻamanaki mei ai foki ʻae Fakamoʻui, ko e ʻEiki, ko Sisu Kalaisi.
20But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21ʻAia te ne fakafoʻou hotau sino kovi ni, ʻo fakatatau ia ki he sino ʻo hono nāunau, ʻi he mālohi ko ia ʻaia ʻoku ne mafai ai ke fakamoʻulaloaʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate ia.
21who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.
